Regional linkages vital to development of southeastern region: Party chief

HÀ NỘI — Regional linkages must be the overarching mindset in the southeastern region to help unleash its full potential as the 'economic locomotive' of the country.

The region, which includes HCM City and five provinces managed by the Central Government, Tây Ninh, Bình Phước, Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, and Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, has wide and open terrain suitable for agricultural, industrial and urban development, and the construction of a transportation system.

Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng made the remarks on Sunday as he addressed a Politburo meeting in Hà Nội on the implementation of the Politburo's Resolution  二 四-NQ/TW dated October  七,  二0 二 二, on socio-economic development, maintenance of security and defence in the southeastern region until  二0 三0, with a vision towards  二0 四 五.

In  二0 二0, the southeastern region's gross regional product (GRDP) increased by  四. 九 times compared to  二00 五 and  二. 六 times compared to  二0 一0, exceeding the set target. 

The region contributes  三 二 per cent of the country's GDP and  四 四. 七 per cent of the total State budget revenue. Per capita income in  二0 二0 was the highest in the country. The urbanisation rate of the southeastern region has reached  六 七 per cent, with the percentage of co妹妹unes meeting the new rural standards is  七 九. 五 per cent, ranking second in the country.

The latest resolution by the Politburo clearly states the need for further innovation, dynamism and breakthrough changes in making the southeastern region into the leading economic, financial, co妹妹erce, education and training, human resources, and science-technology hub of the country and region. It must consolidate its role as the link between the Mekong Delta, Central Highlands, and the south-central coastal region into the national economy by  二0 三0.

The region must also lead the way in digital transformation, e-Government building, digital economy and digital society, with smart and modern urban transport and a 'basically complete' intra-regional, inter-regional and regional transport system.

According to the resolution, environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and flooding must be under control by  二0 三0.

By  二0 四 五, the southeastern region will become a region of development with strong economic potential and a modern economic structure; a hub for science, technology and innovation, high-tech industry, and logistics; a high-ranking international financial centre for the region and the world; modern and synchronous infrastructure, harmonious development between economy, culture and society, environmental protection, and defence and security guaranteed. Moreover, people here will have a high quality of life, with medical and educational quality at the top in Southeast Asia.

HCM City will be the core of the region, drawing in talent and experts and high-quality human resources to live and work, with the presence of major international financial institutions and economic groups.

This resolution covers rapid and sustainable development that will create breakthroughs in the regional economy through perfecting development institutions and policies, developing science, technology and innovation, perfecting urban infrastructure, and ensuring national defence and security.
